It should be pretty good if they stay faithful to the source material . The high school comedy that the Japanese love and some mystery suspense . I just hope to God that it does not end up being like Trinity Soul.

Actually... how do you make a murder & mystery anime where at least 50% of the audience knows who the killer is?Or are they going for the Columbo thing? (that would rock)

Well, it's like watching the harry potter movies after reading the books. You know what happens but you enjoyed the books so you're still interested in checking them out.

Isn't the enjoyment from seeing what you could only imagine before in your head before translated into an actual viewable image. Rather than Persona 4, which we already have visual experience with.

Well, yeah, I guess in this case it's about seeing that image through a different medium, though some key moments were already presented through anime sequences. I think they can do some awesome scenes with the fights, should be more interesting to watch than basic 3D models hitting each other in turns. Trinity Soul had some good scenes but they were too few and far between.
